Over the Ledges is turning back the clock 60 years and inviting you to a prom for their opening show of the summer season.

Kelly Stuible-Clark is directing “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” a jukebox style musical that celebrates the songs of the 50s and 60s brought to you by four girls providing entertainment at their 1958 senior prom.

It’s a charming story in which Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy tell the stories of their lives, their loves, their hopes and dreams through the songs of the 50s and 60s.

But wait, you say—if the prom is 1958, how to they get away with singing songs of the 60s? That’s because act two has the Wonderettes reuniting at their 10-year reunion.

The musical, written by Roger Bean, was originally put together in 1999, on a request from the Stackner Cabaret who needed an intimate musical that could be performed with almost no backstage space. It then got shelved for a couple years, reappearing in 2008 and then making it to off-Broadway in 2014.

The musical opens with “Mister Sandman” and includes such other songs as “Dream Lover,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Leader of the Pack,” “Stupid Cupid,” “It’s in His Kiss,” and “It’s My Party.”

Stuible-Clark has cast Carin McEvoy, Nicole Martin, Racheal Raymer and Kate Snyder in the role of the four women. They’ll be performing in the barn in Fitzgerald Park where Over the Ledges makes its home.

While there is an entry fee to the park, if you tell the attendant you are going to the theater, the fee is waived and parking is free.

Peppermint Creek Theater, a company committed to presenting contemporary works that addresses social issues, has announced its season, a slate of six shows that include national and Michigan premieres, immersive theater, a documentary, and the largest season it has ever staged, bringing more than 100 performers to its stage.

The season includes:

• “Shakespeare in Love,” by Tom Stoppard, Marc Norman and Lee Hall, directed by George Popovich. Will Shakespeare is up against a deadline but instead finds himself falling in love with a fan, Viola, who is determined to be in his next show.

• “Framing Device,” an immersive theater show that will be developed and directed by MSU Professor Rob Roznowski and performed in collaboration with the MSU Broad Art Museum. This original work will explore art criticism, the artist’s process and the definition of beauty.

• “The Wild Party,” a musical with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and directed by Ben Cassidy. It is the roaring 20s and Queenie and Burrs decide to throw a party to end all parties in their Manhattan apartment. It is based on Joseph Moncure March’s 1928 narrative poem of the same name.

• “Every Brilliant Thing,” by Duncan Macmillan, with Jonny Donahoe, directed by Chad Swan-Badgero. This is a comedy about depression, told through the eyes of a 6-year-old whose mother has attempted suicide.

• “Telling: Lansing—the immigrant/refugee project” in collaboration with the National Telling Project, directed by Blake Bowen. In 2016, Peppermint Creek did a Telling project on veterans. This time around, they’re interviewing Lansing immigrants and refugees and turning their stories into a theatrical experience.

• “Indent” by Paul Vogel, directed by Mary Job. This play is inspired by the true events of the Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s “God of Vengeance,” which some saw as traitorous, and others say is a seminal work of Jewish culture.

Auditions for the Peppermint Creek season will be Aug. 1 and 2 at the Miller Performing Arts Center, 6025 Curry Lane, Lansing from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
